Manage my Application Allowlisting Mode using digital signature
During initial installation, Application Allowlisting will do a allowlisting on your system to allowlist your files and create a allowlist database file. It will use this allowlist file to check if the files are trusted.
The Application Allowlisting feature will immediately kick in right after installation. Therefore, during the initial allowlist creation, Application Allowlisting will start prompting when a new file or application is being executed.
By default, if the file is not in the allowlist, it will be trusted using its digital signature instead-but provided if it is found in the Trusted Certificate list.
To manage the Application Allowlisting Mode
-
Launch CatchPulse → Manage → Application Control → Digital Signature.
Trust based on Digital Signature (default) – It is turned on to trust files as a trusted installer based on their digital signature even though these files are not in the Application Allowlisting.
Allow application with a valid digital signature to be trusted as an installer if its certificate is: Description Trusted by the Operating System Allow applications to be trusted so long if it is trusted by the OS. Name is in the Trusted Certificate List (default) Only applications with certificate name listed in the Trusted Certificate list will be trusted.
This setting trusts the vendors of the program that the user has been using. For instance, if the user has been using an Adobe product, e.g. Adobe Reader, when they install Adobe Illustrator, the program will be trusted by hash only.
Name and Thumbprint in the Trusted Certificate List Only applications with certificate name and thumbprint listed in the Trusted Certificate list will be trusted.
